Section 3.5. Put Rights. Beginning on that date which is six (6) months after the Closing Date, and continuing for a two year period immediately thereafter (the “Put Period”), each Seller shall have the right to require that, during any 90-day period following the first day of the Put Period, Purchaser purchase from that Seller up to 25% of the Common Stock received by that Seller on the Closing Date (“Put Right”).

Any claims under this Agreement with respect to a breach of a representation and warranty must be asserted by written notice within the applicable survival period contemplated by this Section 8.1, and, if such a notice is given, the survival period for such representation and warranty shall continue until the claim is fully resolved.
Section 8.2. Indemnification by Purchaser and Subsidiary. Subject to limitations below, Purchaser and Subsidiary agree to indemnify, defend and hold Sellers, Seller Shareholders and their assigns (“Indemnified Seller Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Damages that Indemnified Seller Parties may suffer, sustain, incur or become subject to arising out of or due to (a) any inaccuracy of any representation of Purchaser or Subsidiary in this Agreement or Ancillary Documents; (b) any breach of any warranty of Purchaser or Subsidiary in this Agreement or Ancillary Documents; (c) breach of any covenant, undertaking, agreement or other obligation of Purchaser or Subsidiary under this Agreement or Ancillary Documents; (d) any Action of any nature arising out of any act performed, transaction entered into, or state of facts caused to exist by Purchaser prior or subsequent to the Closing Date; and (e) any costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which Indemnified Seller Parties may suffer or sustain in seeking to enforce the indemnification obligations of Purchaser hereunder.

Sellers agree to indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser and Subsidiary (“Indemnified Purchaser Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Damages that Indemnified Purchaser Parties may suffer, sustain, incur or become subject to arising out of or due to (a) any inaccuracy of any representation of Target in this Agreement or Ancillary Documents; (b) any breach of any warranty of Target in this Agreement or Ancillary Documents; (c) breach of any covenant, undertaking, agreement or other obligation of Target under this Agreement or Ancillary Documents; (d) any Action of any nature arising out of any act performed, transaction entered into, or state of facts cause to exist by Target prior to the Closing Date; and (e) any costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which Indemnified Purchaser Parties may suffer or sustain in seeking to enforce the indemnification obligations of Sellers.
Section 8.4. Notice. Any Indemnified Purchaser Party or Indemnified Seller Party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) a prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing, to the extent reasonably practical to do so, in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claims for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided that failure to give such Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure.
Section 8.5. Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnified Party shall have the right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or

 

23


 

Section 8.3 of this Agreement, unless and until the aggregate of all Damages suffered by such Indemnified Party hereunder exceeds $30,000.
Section 8.6. Calculation of Damages. The amount of any Damage for which indemnification is provided shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party or paid for its benefit under insurance policies with respect to such Damage. In the event that any claim for indemnification asserted hereunder is, or may be, the subject of any insurance coverage or other right to indemnification or contribution from any third Person, the Indemnified Party expressly agrees to promptly notify the applicable insurance carrier of any such claim or loss and tender defense thereof to such carrier, and shall also promptly notify any potential third party indemnitor or contributor which may be liable for any portion of such losses or claims. In the event that any claim asserted hereunder is not subject of any insurance coverage or right to indemnification, the amount of the Damage shall be limited to the amount of the Indemnified Party’s out-of-pocket expenses.
